AUTOBIOGRAPHY
My expertise spans the diverse realms of biomedical data science, encompassing molecular and cellular biology, medicinal chemistry, health disparities, and the innovative fusion of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). In my research lab, we delve into the exploration of medicinal plants as anti-cancer agents, leveraging my programming proficiency in R and Jupiter Note. Our application of these skills encompasses text mining, network analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to tackle real-world challenges. My dedication to advancing health equity, diversity, and inclusion permeates my work within AI/ML and leadership roles. Through active mentorship in the AIM-AHEAD Fellowship Program, I actively bridge gaps and drive initiatives addressing health disparities, regulatory reforms, responses to public health emergencies, and disease outbreaks using real-world data. This commitment has translated into securing numerous competitive grants as Principal Investigator (PI) and contributing to 84 peer-reviewed manuscripts. My experience as a PI has honed my ability to oversee scientific endeavors, evident in successful project management and grant acquisitions. Recognized as an expert in my field, I've reviewed grants for esteemed agencies like the United Kingdom Prostate Cancer Research Centre, Department of Defense, National Science Foundation (NSF), US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). Additionally, holding editorial roles in reputable journals bolsters my stature in the research community. Over time, I've mentored a diverse cohort, ranging from high school and undergraduate students to master's and doctorate candidates, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty. My mentees are actively involvement in my research program has resulted in prestigious National Science Awards, affirming my capacity to nurture the next generation of scientific talents. My dedication to academic excellence and mentorship is exemplified by a range of prestigious accolades, such as the Young Investigator Award, Faculty Scholar Award for Cancer Research, Academy for Research and Scholarly Engagement Award, Teaching Innovation Award, Recognition Among the Top Five Researchers in my institution According to the World Rank, and the Research Center in Minority Institutes Award. These honors serve as tangible validation of my unwavering commitment to research, teaching, and community service. Given my expertise, track record of achievements, and the resources available in my lab, I am well-equipped to significantly contribute to new scientific discoveries.

In addition to research, Dr. Yedjou is a champion in teaching with technology. His current teaching strategies involve interactive media, innovative group discussions, innovative technologies, and hands-on activities that help increase students’ learning and provide them with skills such as time management, self-discipline, and independence. They develop a serious attitude towards learning. He previously served as a Program Director for Distance Learning in the College of Science, Engineering, and Technology at Jackson State University (JSU). He has received two curriculum grant awards funded by the National Institutes of Health to develop a successful Online Master’s Degree Program IN Biology Education at JSU. Before Dr. Yedjou joined FAMU in January 2020, he graduated 15 master’s students from the program. Dr. Yedjou has developed and taught several online courses including Introduction to Biological Sciences, General Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Human Physiology, Human Nutrition, Environmental Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, and Histopathology. He has published three peer-reviewed articles on distance learning education and presented his research findings on distance learning education at several national and international conferences. He has served as a session chair at the “Annual Sloan-C International Conference on Online Learning” and “The Creating Futures through Technology Conference” He recently published a book-chapter entitled “Technology Enhanced Student Learning, Improved Engagement, and Performance in an Anatomy and Physiology Course” in the peer-reviewed of IGI Global Journal.
